Here's my custom mounted Apex AVC-R and Defi guages.

What do you think?

 

Looks awesome, great job. Is it at an easy to see angle though? Like, do you have to turn a lot to read it correctly?

Wow! That looks really good..how did you install that? And How did you get the outside trim to match the center consol?

 

I have the same deck on my FD.

 

I seems pretty easy to see. It's nice because it's so close. I tried other locations around the dash/radio and I thought this worked out the best.

 

I fiberglassed and trimed it to fit. I had to take the AVC-R apart to paint the silver trim ring black.

 

I think I would be pressing buttons with my elbow in that location.

 

not to mention if you wanna look at the avcr you will have to look down..main reason why I did not put the commander in that spot...looks clean though

 

Not the most ideal place to put it in my opinion but it does look very clean. The Defi gauges look nice also......

Was gonna comment on that too. I always rest my elbow on the console and it looks like it may hit.

 

I haven't hit the buttons by accident yet. I rest my elbow on the center console too. With your elbow on the rear of the console and your hand on the shifter, or steering wheel, there is a gap and the buttons don't get pushed. I have rested my forarm on it by mistake before, but somehow still manage to miss the buttons.

So far I haven't really needed to look at the display much while driving. Pretty much set it and watch the other gauges to moniter.
